Virtual Design & Construction

Service Overview

Virtual Design & Construction

a project management method that uses digital models to virtually plan, simulate, and coordinate construction before it is built in the field.

Use Cases of VDC

  • Design Coordination
  • 4D Construction Simulation
  • 5D Cost Estimation
  • Clash Detection and Resolution
  • Project Planning
  • Stakeholder Collaboration
  • Progress Monitoring
  • Facility Lifecycle Planning

Problem We Solve

Without VDC, construction projects often face serious challenges such as lack of coordination between teams, design errors that are only detected during construction, and inaccurate time and cost estimates. The decision-making process is slow due to scattered and unintegrated data, while the risk of conflict between design elements increases due to the lack of early simulation. This leads to budget overruns, project delays, and unnecessary rework. VDC provides the solution by integrating design, schedule, and cost into one collaborative digital platform that allows the entire team to work more efficiently and precisely.

How VDC Transforms Your Projects

1. Design Phase: You'll use powerful Building Information Modeling (BIM) software to create a detailed 3D model. This isn't just for visualization; it's your ultimate tool to see your building and all its complex systems in detail, allowing you to spot and resolve potential issues and conflicts early on, saving you countless headaches down the line.

2. Construction Phase: As you move to the build, the VDC team will leverage this 3D model to meticulously plan and coordinate every aspect of construction. This means proactively resolving clashes between different trades, optimizing your schedules for maximum efficiency, and drastically cutting down on waste and costly rework.

3. Operations Phase: Even after handover, VDC continues to deliver value. You'll use the 3D model to manage your building throughout its entire lifespan, streamlining everything from routine maintenance and repairs to future renovations, and even eventual decommissioning.

Key Benefits of VDC

Improved Project Coordination

All teams work in one integrated model that minimizes miscommunication.

Accurate Time and Cost Simulation

The integration of 4D and 5D enables realistic simulation of schedules and budgets.

Better Documentation and Traceability

All processes are digitally documented, supporting audits and long-term asset management.

Reduced Risk and Uncertainty

With visualized data and scenarios, project risks can be predicted and minimized.

Virtual Design & Construction Flow

01

Project Setup & Data Collection

Collect all project data: design drawings, technical specifications, schedule, and budget.

02

Model Development (3D, 4D, 5D)

Create a digital model of the project including geometry (3D), execution time (4D), and cost (5D).

03

Design Coordination & Clash Detection

Bring together all disciplines (architecture, structure, MEP) to detect and resolve clashes.

04

Simulation & Analysis

Runs construction simulation (schedule, work sequence, logistics) and cost analysis.

05

Collaboration & Review

Stakeholders review and approve designs and plans through a collaborative platform.

06

Monitoring & Updating

The model is continuously updated based on field progress for tracking and decision-making.

Sample Virtual Design Construction

Let’s explore how Virtual Digital Construction (VDC) reshapes the way construction projects are planned and managed in a digital environment. VDC integrates Building Information Modeling (BIM), 3D visualization, construction scheduling (4D), and cost modeling (5D) into a single, coordinated workflow.

It allows all project stakeholders—designers, engineers, contractors—to work within the same virtual space, simulating how a project will be built before any physical work begins. Every phase, from design coordination to sequencing, is digitally represented and connected.
